Hey Guys,
I got many messages after my post about my custom bass ordered in Aliexpress.
As the questions were often the same, I thought that I would do a video for you with a cocktail of all I could advise you :
As a reminder, if you wanna have a look in my project
There is also this...
Hi all,
I’ve been looking for a China-made Squier Classic Vibe P Bass in Sonic Blue for some time. I’d love to take one off your hands, for a reasonable price (there’s one on EBay right now, but it’s around $750 all-in).
I don’t really post here, but I’m happy to provide my Reverb account on...
I’m thinking of buying a new instrument, and I’m finding more and more that things I like seem to be built in Asia. I can’t help but wonder if there is a generally accepted hierarchy for overall quality based on country of origin, or if that’s tied more to the company that puts their name on it...
Hello guys, One thrift store in my town has this Fender to sell for 600€. But i can't find anything similar online, only american ones.
Any clue if This os fake? I'm afraid.

Hey people, I have recently seen that you can buy a one piece double basses from Alibaba for like $160-$200. Now obviously I wouldn't say that those are really quality, but I mean hey! That's pretty cheap for something you'd regularly pay thousands for, maybe like for a project or just something...
Is this for real?

I guess it is if MF is selling them?

I have all the "good basses" I need, but I jones for a "Frankenstein project" and the stuff on their sites seems like a great jumping off point. For example, this would make a great EB-6 with a little tweaking.

I'm about to make a switch of cabinet. I have an Ampeg SVT Classic 610 HLF made in USA. I bought it in 2014. I'm about to switch it with a new Ampeg SVT Classic 410 HLF made in China bought in january 2018.
Should I do the switch? The guy is basically giving me the 410 for my 610.

I'm not quite sure where I should post this so apologies in advance!
I have a gig in China that will be through all of August and I'm planning on bringing my Mex Pbass for sure but I am on the fence about bringing my 4001Ricky. It is from 1973 and I got it for cheap because the neck is a little...
Hi everyone.
Long story short - some months ago a bought a passive Jackson Kelly Bird as my first bass and very quickly began to think that I'd be better off with some passive to active conversion kit. This is the version I bought:
The Kelly Bird turned out to be a very good choice for such...
How do I identify them when buying/hiring amps? Which country would the present models be made in? How do they compare in sound, reliability, etc.?
Okay, since I'm Chinese I'm a bit partial to made in China amps... But it's really sound and roadworthiness that matters the most.
Anyone could shed...

Some look good, prices are very low... anybody as one, tried one, any experience?
I’m curious about those.
Looking for an inexpensive rosewood neck for my Squier VMJ5. Found a couple like this on eBay, but am very leery, despite the good feedback. It's not a huge chunk of change, but looking to see if anyone has had any experience with one of these necks?

I found a company making basses and guitars here in Europe at a very affordable pricepoint, around 500€. When I looked closer, especially at their Les Paul model, I noticed a bolt-on neck. And all of the bodies were made out of basswood, both characteristics of "kit guitars" from china from my...
So while shopping online I've seen a lot of cheap pedals coming directly out of china. I've heard a few people online comment about the general quality being good for the price but I haven't seen a lot of proof or reviews. Wondering if anyone here has any input/experience on the matter.
How do you connect to messenger and make google's searches when you're in China?
I'm travelling in China (in Xi'an right now) and I cannot do any of this 'simple' things.
Heading over to Beijing and Japan in a couple weeks...curious if there are any pedals that I can only find over there. Weird, useful or otherwise. Open to suggestions! Thanks!
Hello all,
So my band has a gig in Macau, China ("the Las Vegas of China") in June. The casino is supplying the back-line (PA, drums, guitar and bass amps, mics, etc). It's only for one big event there (1 night). I have an active US passport, so that's not an issue.
I'm not a big effects...
There are all kinds of interesting instruments out there. It seems like many people have come up with new ideas, new techniques, and new materials to make a bass or guitar out of. Today I stumbled on a video that shows a guitar made in a way I never could have imagined if someone hadn't...
Hey, does anyone have any info on these Howard Core Chinese import DBs - - carved top, retail for about $5,900 - supposedly as a foil to their line of German import, the 'Roma' bass? Thinking of upgrading from my old Epiphone bass, and I'd heard about these. Any info most welcomed.
I heard MarkBass is having their stuff made in China are somewhere, that makes me wonder about quality. I have one of the first Jeff Berlin combo's, so that are to make my combo worth a million bucks right. Vintage baby and in mint condition big old yeller B&C 15in speaker. Isn't that what...
I wanted to buy an Eden 410xst. Everybody said I should jump for it, but a TB'er And I found out that something is wrong with this cab.
It's only 4 ohms and 800 Watts. The speakers are darker in color, and the cone is round shaped.
So after some waiting for the seller to answer, he told me...
Hello fellow bassists Growler571 here. I am wondering if all Peavey Amps and Cabs are made in China now or are some made in the U.S. still? If so which ones are made in the U.S.? Also how is the quality of the Chinese made cabs and amps? Are they as durable as the old Peaveys of the 70's 80's...
Hey guys,
Long time electric player looking to buy his first double bass (studying jazz at university). After being in the market for a few months, one has recently come up near my place but i don't know too much about it and would really appreciate your opinion on quality etc. It's a 3/4...
What is the story on this bass? Blurb says it's a "Made in China-Fender". What sort of "Fender" is this? I don't recall seeing the Fender brand on anything made in China in 2013 (if ever). Is it like "Fender Japan" - Chinese Fenders for the Chinese market that they don't sell in the USA? Anybody...
